Since a couple of days I'm having a weird log-in issue, on the homepage i see this:

So to log-in i have to click the "Log In" link at the top of the homepage and filling the information in the other page.

Also, even checking the "Auto-Login" box, I have to re-access every day.

I'm using Chrome.

I get the same issue using Safari. Also, on any browser, it looks like the cookie to keep you logged in has been changed and is expiring every single day, and this issue started exactly the same time as the login issue described.

We made a change to the way the login box appears for anyone who has an account but no subscription a few days ago (until Saturday the only people who fitted into this category were ex-subscribers, but since then we have introduced accounts for non-subscribers as a way of more accurately counting people's free news story views).

Since you guys have started seeing this in the past few days, it looks like these changes have caused a but in the way that you are seeing the page. I'll have a chat with our dev team about this and try to work out what's gone wrong...

Can you let me know whether the odd appearance is still there when you have logged in, or does it just appear until you have logged in again for that day?

I'm have a (probably related) problem with MyAutosport. Everytime I open my browser I see my own widgets but they are empty. When I refresh the page I'm presented with a login box, after I log in everything is fine again for that day but the next day I have the same problem again.

Just an update on this...

We're working on a fix for this, and have put a short term fix in place that should solve the log-out issues for now. If anyone has logged in today with auto-login ticked and gets logged out again (not if you've logged in previously and were thrown out again today) then please let me know!

The odd login box and the grey bar next to it may take a little longer to fix, so please bear with us on that...

I had this issue at the same time as others, then it stopped a few days after when it was fixed.

Just thought I'd tell you I've just had it happen again (blank log-in box) :wave:

A question for anyone who's still being logged out...

Roughly how often is it happening to you? And were you one of the people who was being logged out every single day at the start of June?

Those are the only two times since (so far :-P). Pretty sure I was logged out more than once at the start of June, not sure if it was every day though...

I'd say it was exactly 1 month since i wasn't logged out, 'cause i reported the problem the 1st of June, took a couple of days to fix it then i was logged out again the 4th of July  ;)

And again... that's three if not four times on a Thursday (for me), and I think each time when I was checking for (and after logging in), downloading the PDF version of the mag.
